Line Tension Opinions

I know there are many factors that affect line tension, including skier weight. An 115lb skier will have less tension than a 220lb skier due to inertia, force to accelerate the skier to the same speed, etc. In general, I've tried to ski with a light line throughout, without too much load variation. The obvious phase on the course that generates most line tension for me is at the work zone.

I'm mostly interested in relative line tension from pre-turn to completion. So for sake of discussion, what is the line tension (guessing at lbs of line tension) at different phases on the course for a 5' 9" 150lb skier? For example, I'm guessing that the line tension at the peak of my work zone is 250lb.
